THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM OTHER THAN SOME STRESS LINES AROUND THE HOLE FROM THE FACTORY PRESS.THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. I CAN SEE JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. HOW ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ALBUMS OF ALL TIME HAS ONLY HAS TWO PLAYS IN 45 YEARS IS BEYOND ME, BUT GREAT NEWS FOR COLLECTORS OUT THERE. HAS THE FIRST PRESS APPLE LOGO AT 3 O'CLOCK

THE VINYL

A BEAUTIFUL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.

THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER.WHEN I OFFERED IT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION I COULD SEE SOME TINY AND VERY FINE  SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES ON SIDE ONE ( THESE HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE PLAY WHATSOEVER)

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS AND I SURE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB COPY.

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE, AND CERTAINLY NO STATIC EITHER

ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE TICS / DUST POPS IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH 

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.

THIS IS A SLEEVE THAT DESPITE BEST INTENTIONS SUFFERS BADLY FROM COLOUR LOSS, RING WEAR AND SEVERE CREASING DUE TO THE THIN CARD THAT WAS USED TO MAKE IT,AND THE DUSTY POWDERY FINISH APPLIED TO THE SURFACE, THUS FINDING A GREAT SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO DO.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS THEREFORE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY VERY WELL.

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT NONE OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY AND SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER.THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. 

THERE ARE SEVEN REALLY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE, AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHERE THE LP HAS GENTLY PRESSED AGAINST THE COVER

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SMALL SEAM SPLIT ON THE WORDING IN THE MIDDLE,OTHERWISE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR INCLUDING THE CORNER TIPS, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION. 

THE SPINE IS ALSO COMPLETELY UNWORN, NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR LOSS EVEN DOWN TO THE TIP ENDS WHICH ARE STILL PERFECTLY BROWN. THE SPINE IS ALSO FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP, WITH A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF BURRING

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT.

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE ROUNDED CORNERS, SNIPPED BOTTOM CORNER AND LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP EDGE. IT IS IN MINT UNSPLIT, UNCREASED, AND UNMARKED CONDITION. IT HAS SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE LP HAS NOW BEEN PLACED INSIDE A NEW POLY LINED INNER TO ENSURE THAT NO HARM CAN COME TO THE INNER.

THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, HAVING SHARP CREASE SEAMS AND NO MARKS BACK OR FRONT

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
